Default Re: flush draw... too aggressive?

Third street, I don't hate the raise, but generally speaking, I would rather play a three-flush in a four-way pot for one bet than heads-up for two. If you're in a tough game, you have to occasionally make it two bets with a three-flush so as not to become too readable. In a $1/2 game, deception is usually wasted. I'd just call and keep the other guys in.

Having gotten it heads-up, whether or not to jam depends in part on your estimation of your opponent. If he has Kings only, you're a solid favorite. If he has two pair, you're about even. If he has a set, you're a dog. If you really think he's forcing the action with two Kings after you've represented Aces on third, go ahead in jam. Unless I thought the guy was an idiot, I'd just call the raise and see what came. Once you hit your flush, just keep betting until he gives you a reason not to.
